American Werewolves

I thoroughly enjoyed this! I'm not sure how to praise it without writing a novel. There's so much to say.

Just to sit and listen to the witnesses who encountered the "dogman" was a treat. I believe them. Their stories made me feel uneasy and on-edge for the rest of the night. It's obvious that these are regular, genuine people with no reason to lie. Their accounts are decades old, yet you can still sense the terror in their voices. It was chilling.

They definitely encountered SOMETHING. In my state we have the Jersey Devil in our Pine Barrens region not far away from me so I grew up hearing similar tales around mysterious beasts in the woods. The dogman isn't far off.

These things must have some basis in reality. It's likely there are horrific animals out there that we can't see or haven't seen yet. This documentary suggests that the dogman *could* be paranormal in nature; a product of the Indian burial grounds.

Personally, I reject this notion. No, as with most situations, there is a scientific answer here... somewhere. Dogmen, like Bigfoot, can possibly exist without the benefit of ghosts.

And boy, let's talk about the style of this piece! It uses an 80's VHS aesthetic with a great synth soundtrack which was perfect.

In keeping with this theme, for dramatic effect they used a bad, campy werewolf costume and it was awesome! I wouldn't have it any other way. The lighting they used makes it crazy scary as the scenes synced with eyewitness testimony. They elicited more raw emotion with probably 150.00 than a Hollywood studio would with thousands spent in CGI.

There is no reason why American Werewolves doesn't deserve a perfect score. I'm going to watch it again soon!

I just finished watching this documentary and I will say two things-it was really well done and the witnesses seemed legit. Something is definitely going on we just don't know or understand it. If you are a fan of STM or just Werewolves in general this is something you want to see.

No pun intended - and I can tell you from the start: I do not believe it (them). That being said, I do believe that some of the people who talk here (some even hide their identity - I reckon they are aware of people probably making fun of them, if they knew who they are) actually believe they saw a werewolf ... or more. I guess the whole thing is mildly entertaining - but you really have to suspend your disbelief to say the least.

Not sure I can give you a reason to watch this - let's just say if you like to hear people talk and not have any evidence to back anything of that up ... well you could do worse. We do get to see werewolves - I reckon they used some prosthetics, but I did not look who made those effects/suits ... I really couldn't care less. It was a nice ending to the whole Howling watching I did in the last few days ...

To many sightings from reasonable people to not believe these things exist..amazing how easy it is to program society not to believe things are real when they are.

This is probably the weakest doc Seth and his team has put out. Nothing but campfire stories that shows no kinda proof. I remember someone asking Seth about is there had any proof or evidence shown in the doc and he said yes. Been a huge fan since his Mothman doc but lately the production value is gone down.
